My Wed & Thursday Workout Log
Resistance and Cardio Playground Workout
I was hard pressed to get in a good workout but was in an area where I had no immediate access to a gym or a well equipped track. I am not much of a jogger so going for a jog is usually an option as a very very last resort. So walking around the neighborhood I found a playground (JACKPOT). In fact this playground had the nice rubberized shock absorbent surface an nice little platforms for doing step up or plyo. With my jump rope and resistance bands (never leave home with out them) I was able to get in a fantastic workout doing the following circuit.
Warm-up
Jumping Jacks
Knee-ups
Running in place
Stretching (upper body, quads, hamstrings, calves, & back)
The Circuit
- Jump rope (100 reps)
- Incline push-ups (20 reps-30 reps)
- Jump rope (100 reps)
- Pull-ups (10-12 reps)
- Jump rope (100 reps)
- Resistance Band Overhead triceps (10-20 reps)
- Jump rope (100 reps)
- Step-ups (20 reps)
- Jump rope (100 reps)
REST 1-2 minutes but keep moving.
Repeat this circuit 3 to 4 times for a complete resistance/cardio workout early in the morning to rev up your metabolism or when ever you can sneak it in at your local playground. This workout assumes the playground is equipped with the following:
- Monkey bars for pull-ups
- Bench or platform for step-ups and push-ups
- Any type of way to anchor the resistance-band high enough for usage or use the bench for tricep dips.
P90X from the Perspective of People Like You and Me
I am sure some of you have seen the infomercials on TV for both P90X and Insanity. And they usually provide you with testimonials of users of the program. Well my goal in this post today is to provide you with some actual real everyday folks who posted their progression with P90X on Youtube. Listed here are some great transformations from the You Tube community check them out:
This one is my personal favorite because of the fact that she demonstrated some of the exercises and how she modified them which is OK because the main thing with all of these programs is that you may not be able to keep up with these fitness gurus in the beginning and you do not want to risk injury.
These are some other good ones to look at as far as seeing how they stuck with the program to get great results.
